Chosen by a live audience vote at the New Cities Summit, this year's AppMyCity! winner is...

Peerby!

Peerby (Amsterdam, The Netherlands) enables people to borrow the things they need from their neighbours in under 30 minutes. Users post something they want to borrow, and neighbours will get a push notification to which they can respond in a single ​touch.

Peerby is a perfect example of how apps can re-imagine urban living. The New Cities Foundation is proud to celebrate Peerby’s current contributions to cities and hopes to encourage its potential for further innovation. Congratulations!

—John Rossant, Founder and Chairman of the New Cities Foundation and AppMyCity! judge
